0 Rhino Rugs Really Do The Job

By Essie Osborn


Horses are really wonderful creatures who can add a lot to their owners lives. They provide companionship and also a lot of valuable exercise. They need to be fed and cared for every day, even those that live outside in the field. It can be quite expensive to own a horse and owners must always be on the look out for good value.

There is a lot of horse clothing on the market today. Rhino rugs are one of the best companies in business today and many owners know they can trust their products. Horse blankets are not cheap and getting the very best value for money is essential. People want to known that they are going to get several years of wear out of the rug before they make a purchase.

Horses have been wearing blankets during the cold winter months for a long time. However the traditional styles had a lot of problems. They were very heavy and difficult to keep clean. In most cases the outer lining was not completely water proof and many times the horse was left wet and uncomfortable. The heavy rugs were not machine washable and this led to many hygiene issues. Furthermore they were easily ripped after being snagged on a fence or pulled by another horse.

The first thing that most horses do when they are turned out is roll. They usually try to find the wettest and muddiest part of the paddock then get down and enjoy a good roll. Those horses that are being used for competition will need to have a sturdy turn out sheet that is light enough to be comfortable but strong enough to stand up to a lot of wear.

A good sheet will also help to keep the flies away in the summer. Flies can be a real nuisance and some horses are very sensitive. In addition a dark coated horse will often fade out if they are exposed to a lot of sunlight. Having a good quality summer turn out sheet also saves a tremendous amount of grooming time and effort. The owner many not have a lot of time to spare and riding has to be fitted in between all their other responsibilities. Not having to spend hours grooming is a real bonus.

Shoppers who are unsure of what they need should call the customer service department to ask for help. The experienced and knowledgeable sales staff can explain to them the features of each rug and help them decide which is the best. They can also help with sizing. Many people are confused and not sure which size to order. Having some expert help will take all the guess work out of this process.

A water proof turn out rug is also an essential item of clothing for a show horse. This type of rug is available in a range of weights for the different seasons. Winter wear is thick and warm and really protects the animal against even the most severe weather.

Rhino is an outstanding company who have been at the fore front of horse clothing design. They have developed many new features such as Velcro fastenings, cross surcingles to prevent pressure points and nylon linings that prevent rubbing and help to keep the horses coat clean and shining.
